As far as finding Bin Laden goes, according to Mansoor Ijaz (a counterterrorism expert and foreign affairs analyst), "I think the decision was made very early on .. not to focus too much on going in and getting him. If we got through to the second layer [of defense] there would be an instruction given to commit , as they call it, 'the final act', in which bin Laden would martyr himself. Pakistan's intelligence service told our people last May: '..if you martyr this guy, there may be an automatic instruction which goes out that you don't want to have to deal with. Better that you guys deal with your problems one at a time, and when there isn't a real functional al Qaeda operation globally, then we can discuss whether and how to go get him.'"
